Democrats Need To Do This

I was a young union official and the long time president of my union gave me some sound advice. He said when fighting, dealing with management, fight like hell on the big issues and give and take on the smaller ones.

I believe not confirming Pete Hegseth is a mountain to die on for Democrats. Pete Hegseth is a woman beating monster.

Democrats need to attack Trump for nominating him and Magat Senators for even considering him to be Secretary of Defense.

Make Republicans own this monster, and fuck the FBI for hiding what a terrible man he is.

From the monsters SIL. Proof that Hegseth is a woman beater.

For crying out loud his wife used code words when she was in danger and needing help.

We are done if we can’t get rid of this monster.

Think. Again.
